Bertha Woodbury., who is now about to
marry an influential California million
aire has strange history. She was born
at the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia,
IL 1870, of a woman evidently of wealth
and refinement, who refused to give her
real nane to the doctor who attended
her, frankly acknowledging that the name
she had registered under was assumed.
The child was adopted bya man and his
wife, named Watkins, in consideration of
the sum of $500, offered by its mother.
At the end Of six years Mrs. Watkins
died and Julian Watkins, as the child

taken to new home. She is now known

Assistant Secretary Maynard has in
structed the customs officers to see that
domestic cigars exported for the purpose
Of being re-imported, be not admitted to
entry, under the provisions of section
2,5oo, but to require them to be turned
over to the collectors OF internal revenue
for such procedure as may be found ex-
pedient under the internal revenue laws
This action is based On information that
a system exists Of sending cigars manu-
factured in San Francisco to Victoria, B.
c., and then returning them to San Fran
cisco under the provisions OF section
2 2,:55Go Of the Revised Statutes. They are
then stamped with custom stamps bear
ing the words domestic cigars re-import-
ed A good market for these cigars is
st. Louis, where they are usually sold as
imported cigars. Purchasers see the i'm
port stamps, but fail to notice the in
thereon.

For a Government Telexraph.

Mr. POwDERLY ATTACKS THE WESTERN UNION
MONOPOLY AND FAvORS GOVERNMENT CONTROL
The third in the series OF letters addressed by
General Master Workman Powderly to the Knights
OF Labor is published in the latest issue of the
Journal Of United Labor, and Is confined to an
attack on the Western Union Telegraph monopoly,
with a recommendation that the United States
Government should control all telegraph lines.
The several plans are thus alluded to: 1t is as
serted by some that the best means OF solving the
problem is to lease existing lines and operate them
In connection with the Post-Office for O given
number OF years, in order that the question Of
Government control may be tested in that way.
Others claim that the Government should pur-
chase the telegraph lines now In operation under
the right OF eminent domain. He argues that II
the Government can 80 successfully operate the
slow method OF transporting dispatches by the use
OF the mail bag, 1t could carry the same message in
more rapid manner, as 1t has been demonstrated
that the Government can manage the mails OF the
country much better and In a more economical
way than an individual or corporation.
Inc letter rld1culeS the argument that the eStaO-
hShment OF the Government system would be a
as follows: 'If trouble Of any kind exists between
an employer and his employees, and 1t becomes
necessary to create public opinion for the employ
ers side OF the argument the wires OF the present
system OF biography Will be found to answer the
purpose admirably. Every item OF news that will
initiate against the interest OF the masses and
operate TO the welfare OF monopoly is suppressed.
Correct news prompt service cheap rates, and
loyalty TO the interests or tue people viii charac-
terlze the workings OF a system or telegraphy OF
which the the Government has control"

The New York Trtbune's Paris special gives an
interview with Mr.. Blaine on the Presidents
message. Mr.. Blaine Is reported as saying: II
have been reading an abstract of the Presidents
message, and have been especially interested in
the comments OF the London papers. Those papers
all assume to declare the message Is q free-trade
manifesto. and evidently are anticipating a large
market for English fabrics in the United states as
q consequence of the Presidents recommendation.
Perhaps that fact stamped the character Of the
message more clearly than any words OF mine can

that the tax On tobacco be retained and thus that

there, he would distribute the money among the

A FORTUNE OF $4,000 HANGING UPON THE IDENTITY
OF YOUNG WOMAN


OF A YOUNG WOMAN.
The question OF who is really the missing heir to
the property OF the late Thomas Sheehan, OF
Sharpsburg, Pa, is rapidly approaching a crisis
Michael Gibbons, the nephew OF the deceased, has
filed petition in the orphans Court In Pittsburg,
in which he states that Thomas Sheehan died In
testate. and without legal issue, and that he,
Michael Gibbons Is the sole heir to the estate
which is worth over $4,000. T. c. LaZear, Mrs.
Sheehan's attorney, has prepared Mrs. Shrehan's
answer 10 this petition. In this answer Mrs.
Sheehan admits that Thomas Sheehan died In
testate, but denies that he died without lawful
issue. She further states that the young
lady now known as Miss Julia Mitchell OF New
Castle, Is the daughter OF the deceased; that
when an infant she was placed I'm Western
family; was afterward reported dead and buried:
that this report was never believed by either her
or Mr. SheehaD, and that newspaper publications
since Sheehan's death, year ago, have brought
about the discovery OF Miss Mitchell the living
daughter Miss Mitchell Is now staying with Mrs
Sheehan at Sharpsburg. The young woman SAYS
that her first recoIectionS were OF the city OF
LeavenwOrth, KanS. She was o very small girl
then, and one day gentleman came to her on the
street, and asked her II she did not want some
candy. After he had got her some candy he took
her and gave her TO his wife. The name OF this
man was Harrison, and both he and his wife were
actors They gave her TO a Mr.McCreary who placed
her fn an orphans home In st. Louis. She was
taken out OF that institution by Mr. and Mrs Mitch
ell, OF Lawrence County, Pa, and she has lived
with them since.

DIR. MERRILL T.. GATES recognize the truth that
wealth lays the heaviest possible obligation on It's
owner 70 make his unselfish service OF the highest
welfare Of his fellow -men reach out as widely
rs his wealth can extend that service.
Never were we so rich as we are To-Day,
and yet there are grave doubts, on all
sides, as to whether we are gaining ground
socially politically, morally, in these prosperous
years The deepest-seated danger In IT'S use Is the
tendency To regard it In itself an end, not as
means for obtaining nObler ends. The most dan
pcrOus misuse OF wealth is using II merely 70 get
more wealth. Few men who enter the race for
wealth escape from the service Of mammon TO the
noble service OF cod. Gazing at gain blinds men
10 moral destruction. The speaker spoke OF what
he called the .'hypnotiZing" power OF gold This
perversion Of all the powers OF the man to money
wInniag accounts for much Of what we call the
'.gross materialism" OF our land and OF our time.
From this binding effect OF devotion TO money
getting follow a host of misuses OF wealth. The
right use Of wealth does not lie In tndiscr1minate
alms-giying. Wealth must be used for service ac-
oortiing 10 It's own laws. Wealth IS under obliga-
ton steadily to reproduce morality, Intelligence,
and skill. When it Is used only to support idlers
IN luxurious ease clearly IL fails to discharge this

fell from his hand into the water He then started
TO crawl on hands and knees toward the Shore but
broke through the ice. When 20 feet from the
shore he became exhausted. From a sick bed in
the hut his wife had witnessed his struggles
through a window, and unable TO contain herse I
